Everyone should set personal and business
goals. Goals should be set daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.
Any successful business owner is
aware of the importance of setting short- and long-range goals
for the success of the company. All employees will function
better when they set and achieve goals.
Goals for an employee
can be as simple as deciding to produce a certain number of
pieces by the end of the week. A longer-term goal might be to
move from entry level position to manager of the department
within two or three years. Both
employees' and managers’ goals
can be formulated in conjunction to achieve the best outcome for
all.
The goal setting process is as
follows:
1) Write down your goals and
discuss them openly
2) Make the goals challenging
3) Model your goals on someone you admire and respect
After setting your goals break
down the steps you'll to achieve daily to reach your goals and
objectives. If you are part of a team set and discuss goals with
your fellow team members.
Seek suggestions from other team (or
family) members on how to best accomplish your goals and set
deadlines for achieving each step.
Listen to others and be prepared
to take advice especially if it comes from someone with
experience and credibility. Actively seek out others with
experience in what you are trying to achieve because they can
give you useful information on how to achieve your goals.
